USC’s admissions rate is about 12% and about 25% of the class is admitted EA or early. And USC isn’t known for just taking the highest stat type students either. As I remember, there are many 4.0/1,600 type students that are rejected by USC.
Maybe @Mwfan1921 @WWWard or @CADREAMIN can address my question as it relates to USC being considered a “match” for any applicant.
